klnsvilla aiaiplAt IA asksdl "a volt
100000 az a subscription to tho pap
lial stock of the Ohio Valley on thes,
conditions, viz;
Not one dollar of the su description
il voted, "shall be due or payable
until continuous, standard guagt
railroad shall have been built from
Princeton 10 Hopkinsville aud the
cars are actually running, Hopkins
vile district il not TO pay for The
goods until actually delivered.
This Is strong and excellent guar
antee Of good faith and honest trad
ing. But there Is another safeguard
for our protection, viz:
If within twenty years the L. Il N
Railroad Company, or its successors
should get control ofthe Ohio Val
ley Railroad, the 100000 shall be re-
funded.
Again the Ohio Valley Company
pledges itself not to discriminate
against The trade OF the Hopkinsyille
district.
1t is hard to see how a proposition
more advantageous, just and fair to
Hopkinsville district could be framed
for the establishment of railroad COM
petition. 1t is no purchase Of "pig in
a poke.' The people will not sub
scribe to an uncertainty. They will
not pay one dollar until the last spike
shall have been driven and Hopkins
vile is put in connection with the
Chesapeake & Ohio railroad, aud
with the Ohio River and the Eastern
railways.
The Ohio Valley Company has al
ready "a miles ofstandard gauge, steel
rail track In operation and will reach
Princeton by the LIST OF September,
nine months ahead of the stipulated
time. This shows solidlty and good
management.
If the aid asked here Is given, the
road will be graded to this point by
February lst and steel rails laid as
fast as the mills can turn them out.
Something has been said about
railroad from Hopkinsville to Column
bus, Ky. Now it is certain that no
Independent railroad can be built be-
tween these points without charter
from the Legislature. If any railroad
in Kentucky conceiveS such road as
conflicting with itS interest, il will
be sure to oppose the charter and
may defeat it. II the friends of this
road really want competitive road
to Columbus, why do they not try to
make terms and cooperate with the
Ohio Valley Company, which ism
ing in that direction and is favorable
to the project? Would it not be
sound policy to unite and consolidate
the two propositions, both of which
have the same objective pointP This
union of forces would insure the
building of the road to Columbus at
least one year sooner than TO attempt
its construction by the slow process
of first fighting for charter and then
raising stock. There is no doubt that
the Ohio Valley road is heartily for
the Columbus extension.

An Earthquake Shock.


The most distinct earthquake shock
felt in Hopkinsville for many years
occurred at 1887 A. NJ. Tuesday.
Those who happened to be awake at
that hour state that the shock was
preceded by rumbling sound like
that made by train of cars. The
light sleepers were all awakened by
the first movement of the quake. The
KENTUcKIAN man was aroused by il
and distinctly felt two or three wave
like motions following the first. The
house, a brick building on substan-
tial stone foundation, rocked like
boat on rough water and the windows
ratified and bottles and articles of
bric-a-brac were almost shaken
from the mantel. The Kentuckian's
conscience was clear and there was
nothing terrorizing about the tremb-
ling of the earth. 1t rather had a
soothing effect and after securing the
data for making news item he re-
sumed his slumbers. Next morning
the quake was the subject of general
discussion. A few heavy sleepers
were not aroused and were regret
ting that they had missed the perfor-
nance. Citizens who slept in the
upper stories OF brick houses felt II
most distinctly. In some instances
ladies were badly frightened and
staid awake most Of the night expect
ing a recurrence of the shock. 1t
was also distinctly felt throughout the
surrounding country. The negroes
were filed with terror in some places
and believed the day of Judgment
had come. The shock was from
southwest to northeast, as well as
could be judged by those not familiar
with such experiences, and lasted
seven or eight seconds. No damage
was done anywhere.
AT OTHER PLACES.
The shock was felt at St. Louis al
IL :96 and at Louisville at II :3S and
lasted eight seconds.
| AtNashville at II :37, lasting six
seconds. Fourteen vibrations from
North to South were felt.
II was also felt at Ciarksville, Tulla'
homs, Franklin, Gallatin, Murfrees-
boro, Columbia andJackson, Tenn, and
Glasgow, Eddyville, Russellville and
Elizabethtown, Ky. Dispatches from
southern and central Illinois report
the shock at 1910. At Huntsville
Ala, II was felt at II 80. The area
of the shock covered northern Ala

The Nicaragua Canal.

Admiral Ammen has written a letter
to the Baltimore Sun, severely critics.
ing DE Lesseps' Panama Canal and
Eads' proposed ship railroad. He
says that De Lesseps has paid an
American syndicate 500, francs
to defeat the Nicaragua Canal enter
prise, and that Eads' influence has also
been hostile. 10 conclusion he says:
Il would say, let all persons who have
influence, aud who do not wish to see
our own coasting trade pass Under for
eign control, insist that Congress grant
without delay the act OF incorporation
to an American company to construct
the Nicaragua Canal, as asked, without
any guaranty whatever, or thereafter
hold their peace. There are people
stupid enough to suppose that the con-
stitutional powers Of our nation are in
sufficient to secure what are maniiestly
great vital interests. Among these in
the past, we're not Jackson or Clay, OF,
indeed, single name Of national noto-
riety Without possessing personally
any knowledge of party or party inter
ests, pronounce the non-existence OF
sufficient powers very dangerous and
quite modern heresy, which will, ere
long, stamp its supporters with ignominy.
After the Government Of the United
States has fairly developed the excep-
tional and undoubted commercial ad-
vantages Of the Nicaragua Canal route,
it. proposes, now, to abandon them to
whom it may concern, and therefore,
as natural consequence, to submit
the control Of its own coasting trade to
whatever foreign domination may con-
struct the canal"

THE FINANCES.

After the law has been cvaded fol
two or three quarters, the Minister O
Finance publishes in the official organ
the financial report for the past quarter
Receipts have been T$S57,56I.56 and
expenditures $775,4S5,o4- The bal
ance in the treasury at the end of last
quarter was 8a,o76.5a. OF the re
ceipts $40,I32.5I represents the bal
ance from previous quarter, $3o5,ooc
the loan fund and $25, the amount
from the Postal Savings Bank. Spe-
cial loan got away with $I5o, 3o6.6z in
the expenditures, and expenses Of the
Legislature, $II,4ooss, which is get
ting off cheaply considering the length
of the session and the harm 1t Wrought.
AS the internal revenue looms up last
quarter, being $2sc,3o5.I2, and will
be comparatively small for the next
three quarters, the Government will
need to be judiciously discretionary
with the enormously inflated Appropria-
ton Act, in order to show balances on
the right side.

SATURDAY, JANUARY IS, 1887
A SCANDAL.

Some wealthy Cinnamon are said to
have paid seventy or eighty thousand
dollars between them for the opium
license that they did not get. The
money is alleged to have been paid to
an official who had no more to do with
the license under the law than the man
in the moon. II the foolish CelestIals
who so easily parted with their money
prosecute the person who acted as mid
die man to get the doodle" for gross
cheat in obtaining money under false
pretences, they are themselves in
danger Of prosecution for bribIng a
Government officer Perhaps the Min
istry is not aware that the story has
become a notorious scandal, being 10
everybody's mouth. They owe it to
the good name, if not the security OF
the country, to make a rigid investiga-
ton. "Hew 10 the line; let the chips
fall waere they may II Ministers for
once act like men, it may be proven to
the world, to the everlasting credit Of
the nation, that public robbers have no
easier pillows in Honolulu than IN New
York. The rascals who would give
such bride are as worthy OF punish
ment as those who would take il. II
there is only a moiety Of truth in the
scandal, il is another proof that the
opium law was dirty fraud through
out. Purporting to be law to license
the drug exclusively for medicinal pur-
poses, Chinese are found eagerly ready
with tens Of thousands Of dollars for
the purchase Of its privileges. There
could not be the slightest intention, on
the part of the seekers for the mono.
poly, to keep within the law as it
stands If the licensee sticks to the
statute he will bankrupt himseli and his
confederates, if they number legion,
before the license runs year.

illegal Combinations.

James r. Keene, the New York mil
lionaire, and Washington Butchers
Sons, in December, 1880, formed a
pool to advance the price of land and
employed E. A. Kent & Co. of that
city and Poole, Kent & Co. of Chicago
as brokers for the purchase and sale OF
land. 1t is said that a small fortune
was realized, but the members of the
pool charged their bro ers had defraud-
ed them by making fictitious purchases
and sales. Keene sued Kent and
others in the Supreme Court to recover
his share Of the profits Of the pool.
They interposed defense that the
transactions were gambling ones, and
that the law would not force them to
account Judge Daniels, of the Su
preme Court, has rendered his opinion
in the matter, reversing the opinion of
the Court below, which directed the
brokers 10 file bill Of particulars OF
the pools transactions. He holds that
the defense .interposed is valid and that
the law does not sanction that form
of gambling, declaring that combina-
lions to keep articles Of food and other
necessities off the market with view
of getting higher prices are unlawful
conspiracies, punishable as crimes.
